MCVS has complied the Mississippi volunteer number in conjunction with the THANKS Y'ALL / VOLUNTEER Y'ALL! Campaign, which honors and marks the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.  "It is important that the nation and the world realize the enormous impact that volunteers had on the relief and recovery work in Mississippi," said Marsha Meeks Kelly, Executive Director of MCVS.  "While we recognize the tireless efforts of volunteers over the past year, it is equally important to emphasize that hundreds of thousands of volunteers are still needed for the recovery efforts.  Please do not forget us."

The mission of Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service is to engage and support Mississippians of all ages and backgrounds in service to their communities.  As the state office of volunteerism, MCVS oversees AmeriCorps, community-based Learn and Serve America programs, and Volunteer Centers.  For more information on the Commission, please visit the website www.MCVS.org.
